Leamington Road Villas, Notting Hill, United Kingdom

Occupying the lower and ground floors of a handsome Victorian villa, this three-bedroom apartment was once a 19th-century vicarage, offering expansive floor space, soaring ceiling heights and period character rarely found elsewhere. The home sits in the Aldridge Road and Westbourne Conservation Area, a collection of elegant nineteenth-century streets developed during the westward expansion of London’s underground network. Many of the original façades remain intact, lending the area its distinctive stucco-fronted villas and leafy pavements.



The ground floor centres around a large reception and dining room, anchored by a period fireplace and a beautiful bay window that floods the space with light. Original shutters frame the tall sash windows, and wooden floors run throughout, enhancing the sense of warmth and continuity. The room flows naturally into a well-designed family kitchen fitted with an Aga cooker and a generous island that doubles as a breakfast table. The layout encourages conversation while cooking, and doors open directly onto the surrounding patio, perfect for entertaining on warmer days. A library and a guest bedroom can also be found on this level, creating flexible space for work or guests. A study and a guest powder room complete this floor.



On the lower ground floor, the principal bedroom suite has a large walk-in wardrobe and an elegant ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bath. A second bedroom also enjoys its own ensuite, while the third bedroom has an adjoining study. A further powder room completes this floor. There are also two very large walk-in storage areas outside, one of which could easily be converted into a sauna or children’s playroom.



An indoor–outdoor gym sits just off the patio, providing a unique space for year-round fitness and wellbeing. The apartment is surrounded by a private patio garden, creating a sense of seclusion and calm rarely found so close to central London. It provides the ideal setting for summer barbecues or quiet morning coffee.
